Are Lumps In Surgery Scars Normal?
6 years ago March 2008 I had brain surgery to remove a minengeoma (sp?) non-cancerous tumour and neurosurgeon said he got it all. I now have numerous hard bone scars on the right side of my head where they operated and removed the tumour. About 2 weeks ago I felt a lump within the many scars which is about 1 to 1-1/2 across and is mushy feeling with fluid. There is no pain and I just had ultrasound and xrays done a couple days ago and waiting for results but I m worried sick as to what it could be. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such formation of lump is not normal one but the swelling could be due to some infection and this need to be ruled out, or may be some collection, hope this information helps, take care.
